Ingredients

3 Eggs

3 Tomatoes, chopped

4 Bell peppers, diced

4 slices Yellow cheese slices

¼ tin Canned mushrooms, drained

Directions

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced bell peppers and sauté for 3 minutes until they begin to soften.

  2. Add the drained mushrooms to the skillet and continue cooking for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook for 2 more minutes until they release their juices. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. In a bowl, crack the eggs and beat them together until well combined.

  5. Pour the beaten eggs over the vegetable mixture in the skillet, distributing evenly. Cook without stirring for 3 minutes until the edges begin to set.

  6. Arrange the cheese slices over the top of the omelet and cook for another 2 minutes until the cheese melts and the center of the omelet reaches 160°F internal temperature.

  7. Slide the omelet onto a cutting board, cut in half, and serve immediately while warm.

All ingredients are stocked year-round at every major Charlotte chain, and a basic omelet costs under $3 per serving depending on egg and cheese quality. The stated 22 minutes is honest for cooking, though it glosses over the fact that you'll need to dice tomato, pepper, and mushroom, which adds 5 minutes of actual prep work to reach the 27-minute reality. This is a reliable weeknight dish that needs focus while cooking but feeds two adequately and reheats poorly, so it's best eaten fresh—a minor limitation for a breakfast-for-dinner scenario.
